Mr. Blue

Male Blue Grosbeak who has spent the summer in our woods. I will miss the flash of his and the Mrs. Blue when they head off soon to Mexico for the winter.
At least they get to go somewhere for vacation ;)
Eastern Wood-pewee - Life Bird
/
Crazy story… I took this photo last week in our backyard and saved the image thinking it was a young Phoebe. Today (8/7) I was looking at E-bird researching a new trail to explore and saw a sighting of an Eastern Wood-Pewee. Never having seen or heard of this bird before I did what all good birders do, Google’d images of it and found several which showed me this was the bird I photographed in the back yard last week. Later this evening I was in the backyard and this Pewee was sitting on the fence singing. As I watched it I opened my Merlin Bird ID and played the song and call. The cutie answered right back to both. Both the call and song matched perfectly.
And this is how I saw and identified my first Eastern Wood-Pewee 😀
